Went to a trad finance meetup yesterday. Tried orange-pilling normies on crypto yields.
Most already have HK bank accounts + brokerage setups. Told them to farm new user bonuses at local brokers. The unbanked ones? Stuck buying A-shares or capped Nasdaq exposure via Alipay.
OG stock traders love their options plays—buying puts, selling calls. I used to be clueless on options, but hearing them talk enough times, it clicked.
For newbies though? Dual-currency earn products are the gateway drug. When I mentioned 20% APY, eyes lit up. Someone literally asked me on the spot how to download OKX and get started.
But here's the friction: they still don't trust crypto platforms. "Funds sitting on a Web3 exchange? Feels sketchy."
Meanwhile, OKX has global regulatory licenses, proof-of-reserves, and arguably more transparency than most domestic brokers. Yet the mental block persists. Web2 brains are hard to rewire.
If you had one sentence to explain Web3 to a normie, what would you say?
